Abstract: The slot assign system disclosed has a central station (C) and a plurality of peripheral stations (X(i)), and the communication between them is made through an artificial satellite (S). The central station stores pre-assign slot information of each of the peripheral stations, and multiplexes slot assign information to be changed at a next frame over the pre-assign slot information. The peripheral station, on receipt of the slot assign information, transmits the next frame using a slot assigned to itself. The central station sends a vacant slot with no pre-assignment as a non-assign information signal, and the peripheral station recognizing the vacant slot transmits, using the slot assigned to itself, a reservation request for using the vacant slot. The central station transmits a frame next to the frame to which the slot has been assigned. Thus, the slot assign information is centrally controlled by the central station and can be changed without a need for cutting off the data link between the central station and the peripheral stations.

Abstract: A circuit and method detect whether or not an ink cartridge is mounted in an ink jet recording apparatus. The circuit comprises a driver 100 for driving a corresponding nozzle by applying a driving power supply voltage to a heating element RT. A voltage detector 102 detects a voltage level which drops upon driving the heating elements RT, the voltage detector 102 being connected between the heating elements RT and the power supply voltage Vpp. A controller 110 drives one or more of the heating elements RT through the driver 100 and compares a voltage level detected by the voltage detector 102 with a preset reference voltage level, thereby to detect whether or not the ink cartridge is mounted. An alternative embodiment of the invention detects the type of ink cartridge.
